Haskell generate subsets

Question

I have a function \'subsets\' which generate all the subsets of a given set:

subsets :: [Int] -> [[Int]]
subsets []  = [[]]
subsets (x:xs) = subsets xs ++         


        

Answer 1

You have subsets already. So we need a function

filterSubs :: [[Int]] -> [[Int]]
filterSubs = --remove all subsets which don't sum to 0

So next we'd need a predicate

sumZero :: [Int] -> Bool
sumZero xs = sum xs == 0

Now, using this and filter it's easy to construct filterSubs. I'll leave this to you to figure out exactly how that works. And then our solution is trivial

zeroSubs = filterSubs . subsets

Answer 2

The idea is that you want to take all subsets and then only keep the ones that sum 0

subsetsSum0 ls = filter (\ss -> (sum ss) == 0) (subsets ls)

let's make this code point-free

subsetsSum0 = filter ((==0) . sum) . subsets
